April 16, 2007 WESTBOROUGH, MA – Wakefly, an innovative, award-winning web development and marketing firm specializing in integrated marketing communications, has been awarded the bronze medal in an international creative competition. The award was given by Summit Creative Awards, a prestigious international organization that honor creative and marketing excellence.
Wakefly earned a bronze award in the 2007 Summit Creative Awards in the web design category, for its work on behalf of client York Telecom/UnivisionsCrimson Group (www.univisionscrimson.com). The Summit Creative Awards recognize creative excellence by small and medium sized agencies around the world.
The Summit Awards
Throughout its thirteen-year history, the Summit organization has established itself as one of the premier arbiters of communication excellence. Companies and individuals, from more than 50 countries over five continents, participate in its awards programs.
Using rigorous evaluative criteria and blind judging processes, the competition rewards only those firms truly deserving of special recognition. The award’s evaluative criteria sets it apart as the top creative competition for this sector. Submissions are evaluated based on the strength of their big idea, the quality of execution and their ability to communicate and persuade.
Jocelyn Luciano, Executive Director of the International Summit Awards, said “Wakefly’s award-winning work helps to demonstrate a marriage between effective and aesthetic creative. Creative that moves the end user closer to a brand, a product and a desired outcome.”
“We are pleased that Wakefly’s design has received industry recognition,” said Bill Reich, York Telecom’s Vice President of Corporate Sales. “Their creative team was extremely professional, focused on our needs, and accomplished the task within a very tight timeframe. Their innovative design helps us connect with our customers and partners more effectively, improving our business.”
According to Tim Hawkins, Creative Director for Wakefly, “I’m honored that the Summit Awards has recognized the creative work we have done for York Telecom/UnivisionsCrimson. Initially the project was challenging in that we had to speak to an existing client base, some of who have worked with UnivisionsCrimson for decades and a new more technically adept client base. Things were complicated more when York Telecom acquired Univisions. This meant further adjustments to the design and content to incorporate the needs of York Telecom.”
